Is .digital safe? The state of .digital domain security
.digital is riskier than the internet average. Across 393,627 graded .digital domains, 88% score an F — worse than the 78.3% global average — heavier on exposed domains than the web as a whole. 1.4% earn a B or better. Most .digital domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
Of 351,533 graded .digital domains, 87.3% earn an F — well above the 73.8% internet-wide average. DMARC enforcement here stands at 8.6% — below the 11.8% census-wide rate.
How do .digital domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .digital domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-08-16.

|---|---|---|
| A+ | 55 | 0% |
| A | 1,088 | 0.3% |
| B | 4,508 | 1.1% |
| C | 16,224 | 4.1% |

Does .digital make a domain secure?
No — and that's the most important thing to know. A domain's grade is decided by how it is configured (SPF, DMARC, HTTPS, DNS), not by its ending. Choosing .digital doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .digital domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .digital safe?
On average, .digital is riskier than the internet average: 88% of its 393,627 graded domains score an F as of 2026-08-16, against a 78.3% global average. Most domains on every ending are exposed — the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade.
How secure are .digital domains?
12.0% of .digital domains score above an F and 1.4% earn a B or better. The rest fail the basic externally observable protections, most importantly enforced SPF and DMARC, so they can be impersonated in email.
Does choosing .digital make my domain secure?
No. A domain's grade comes from how it is configured — SPF, DMARC, HTTPS, DNS — not from its ending. A well-configured domain earns an A on any ending; an unconfigured one sits at F on .digital too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .digital domain?
It fails the basic protections we can observe from outside — above all, it has no enforced SPF and DMARC, so its email can be forged and its customers targeted with convincing fakes.
